Literally the only reason why I still bump into Reddit even when I’m not trying to.

Here’s an example from real life. When I searched for “ipados brave yutube ads adblock”, I found some Reddit posts discussing the issue.

Spoiler: Ditch brave and switch to something else.

BTW, Reddit is currently in the “hold my beer” sort of state when it comes to shooting itself in the foot.

But then unemployed facebook moms can’t spread their misinformation about whatever it is that’s virally spreading that week.

At least those flash drives can easily store your entire library these days. You only need one, and it doesn’t even have to be an expensive one.

A long time ago I listened to a podcast episode (Probably Hidden Brain or something) where they discussed how memory affects your personality. People with dementia or some other memory related condition tend to have a different personality than they previously did. Then on another podcast, video or something I picked up another interesting piece of information. People can make new fake memories. Put these two together, and you got a strange method I came up with. If I’m able to come up with this stuff, then obviously smarter people have already done it and are using it on a ragular basis. It’s just that I haven’t heard of anyone doing that yet.

So, here’s the idea. Let’s say you don’t like the way just chill out all day and nothing gets done. You want to change that. Then you start fabricating new memories about how you are really hard working and how you have your life under control. Just imagine a bunch of stories like that about your fabricated past and those stories will gradually become proper memories inside your head. Once that’s done, it’s going to start influencing the way you see your self and how you behave in the future.

If anyone has a name for this, let me know.

A surprising number is videos don’t even need the video component. Just go for a walk, and leave your phone in your pocket while you’re listening to whatever you would normally watch. Try that out and you’ll realize that there’s hardly any reason to see what’s on the screen.

Remember the time when people used to have a stack of CDs in the car? Some cars even had a a fancy player that could hold multiple discs.

It’s not the most appealing option, but it might just work as long as the service is good.

An infinite spiral could easily solve these problems.

Tried a bunch of stuff and finally found some exploits that gave me infinite ammo, 100000000x damage with the starter pistol and infinite health. Eventually, I also found a way to walk through the walls, so I dropped down into the infinite void, waited for the coordinate system to cause an integer overflow and here we are. Anyway, if you're wondering where all the lag is coming form, it's because I started decorating places by duplicating watermelons. Who knew that the watermelon stack doesn't have an upper limit. It just keeps on doubling every time. Hey, you might also want to implement a garbage collection system that despawns stuff like that after a while. You know, that huge watermelon pyramid that glitches through the sky box… yeah, that’s a lot of collisions happening all the time. Just don’t look straight at it, because it’s going to wreck your fps.

I'm using Brave if I want to watch ad-free youtube videos on my phone. You can also install an ad-blocker on mobile Safari to achieve the same result.

Sounds oddly familiar. Just like how the people who make YT videos are constantly trying to exploit the recommendation algorithm, now Xitter users are going to start making more and more viral posts. What could go wrong.

Bean for reading and commenting. It has only one issue and hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later. When someone responds to your comment and you tap to see it, you don't always land on the right spot in the thread. If it's a short thread, you'll be fine, but in a long thread you just can't find where the comment is. In those situations I use Voyager, Thunder or Liftoff. Once Bean fixes that issue, it's going to be the perfect Lemmy client for me.
